Percussion

Originally from Linköping, percussionist Martin Salomonsson is a heavily sought after performer, composer, arranger and teacher. Together with his interest in nature, his early experiences of folk and jazz colour his music making today.

Since completing his Master of Fine Arts degree at the Academy of Music and Drama, University of Gothenburg, he has been engaged as a freelancer by many Swedish orchestras, including the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, the Gothenburg Opera Orchestra, the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and the Wermland Opera.

Martin is an enthusiastic educator and is currently a percussion instructor at the School of Arts in Gothenburg. He composes music for percussion and marimba and is also successful in the popular music scene.

Mimitabu provides a platform for the newest young creative talent to explore, interpret and perform new sound worlds. Close collaboration and experimentation with composers is at the heart of the ensemble, as is the aim of connecting with new audiences and seizing all opportunities to expand the boundaries of listening.
